Well, I didn’t eat until 12:30 because of work, but I ate one half of a super cold corn beef Mr. Submarine and a small order of fries. For dinner, I had some of my leftover spaghetti with marinara sauce and 2 chicken legs. ---

An English muffin is what they make Egg McMuffins with. The flavored ones have the blueberries, raisins, etc. baked into them. Ha, I’m English. I’m very familiar with what we call ‘muffins’. They just don’t come in flavours here. Well, maybe cheese. And you can get wholemeal ones. But they’re all savoury. ---

I know what an English muffin is but I’ve only seen them with raisins so blueberry sounded weird to me as well. That said, I don’t eat many English muffins in general so maybe there’s a whole world of them that I’ve been missing. ---

But it does express some of my frustration with Ethnic labels in relation to stuff you can easily find somewhere else (with almost exactly the same properties): Greek yogurt, Belgium chocolate, Hungarian paprika, etc. Well, that is because those foods originally came from or were popularised in those countries (French fries are something else - Belgium lay claim to them - so that’s just a mislabelling). And English muffins do originate in England (where they are called ‘muffins’). ---

What time does each of them take place, anyway? But don't fret. The Salt is here to offer guidance. FWIW a fun piece about the many and wonderful ways the British have come up with to drink tea and snack, plus the propah terms. Elevenses, high tea and low tea are all my cup of tea. My said cup is either Earl Tea or Irish breakfast. Depending on the time of day or my need for comfort a little raw sugar or milk gets stirred in. ---

> [@jnglmassiv](#): > > Can you please share the recipe for the roe spread? My wife cooks it. It sounds easy when she explains it, but I’m sure I would not be able to perform that. Here is a video I have found. Apparently, it is a Romanian roe spread. Really ironical, considering.

Snacking is very important to me. On a t1 diabetic restricted diet and needing calories, I try not to have empty calories. I’m always starving since I feel better. I just had a snack and am dying for food. Me and the Grandwrex are waiting on chicken nuggets to get done, for lunch. ---

> [@SanVito](#): > > And English muffins do originate in England (where they are called ‘muffins’). For the sake of discussion only, I would mention the fact that a muffin is called **brioşă** in Romanian. **Brioşă** is the Romanian form of the French **brioche**. A [brioche](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brioche) is a round cake that can be prepared in various manners, bread-like or pastry-like. It is attested in the Middle Ages in France. I have seen Italian traditional round bread-like cakes that look very much like English muffins. I ate traditional pastry-like muffins when I went to Vienna and a German guest house owner told me the chocolate muffins she served were a traditional German cake. ---

Go on then, I’ll bite. (Hah!) Breakfast - a small amount of sourdough toast with blackcurrant jam and cheddar cheese. (I would normally have granola with stewed fruit or yoghurt, but we have a glut of homemade sourdough). Black coffee. 9.30 - black coffee Lunch - green salad, cottage cheese with sourdough toast. Afternoon - 1 apricot Dinner - a small portion of chicken and vegetable stir fry with noodles; fruit and yoghurt. j ETA - I forgot half a banana at breakfast [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-did-you-eat-yesterday/917389.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-did-you-eat-yesterday/917389.md?page=3)
